Knowledge is an important thing to people, and adding to it is a great task to accomplish.
Also it may help a person who needs certain information.
Wikipedia is a free source of knowledge and deserves to be as good a possible; I hope to make it better.
To contribute to the comunity
Wikipedia is a community effort, that needs everyones collaboration to succeed.
Also, it is more than just text; it is the effort of people from every part of the world.
Many people believe that Wikipedia is "no good", and I'll try to change their minds by writing higher quality articles.
and to learn in the process
As I progress and grow I will aquire more knowledge naturally.
And Perhapse, I will learn more about myself along the way.

Wilfred Arthur (7 December 1919 – 23 December 2000) was a fighter ace and senior officer of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during World War II. Commonly known as "Woof", he was credited with ten aerial victories and led combat formations at squadron and wing level, becoming the youngest group captain in RAAF history. Arthur first saw action in the Middle East and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for shooting down four aircraft in a single sortie. He was then posted to New Guinea, where he received the Distinguished Service Order for continuing to lead an attack after discovering his guns were inoperable. As wing leader of No. 71 Wing, he was severely burned in a runway collision. Upon recovery, he was posted to the Dutch East Indies and played a leading part in the Morotai Mutiny when eight RAAF officers attempted to resign. Following his discharge, he pursued business interests in Australia and Vietnam before settling in Darwin, Northern Territory. (Full article...)
